Driving while stoned

[deathtoke]

anyone against it?

I find that it makes me more cautious(or paranoid) for the most part, But I can get distracted easier.

[st. stephen]

ive personally never done it, but thats just cause i havent had a chance. however im always with a driver usually at least a little bit high. i dont mind it

[scrollbar]

i think its a bad idea.

whem im stoned, everytime i accelerate, it feels like im riding a rollercoaster... so i tend to accelerate even more. and yeah.. i tend to get more distracted to other things more easily as well.... so yeah... i dont think its a good idea to drive while stoned..

[seafort11]

Driving stoned is my favorite way to drive. It's so boring when I'm sober :D

agreed

but there isn't anything quite as terrifying (at least it seems that when while baked:D) as seeing a cop in the review when these herb in the vehicle.

im not aginst driving stoned, for myself. but i am aginst driving while smoking, and or having smoking people in my car.

[fondfarewell]

I'm not against it, but I really am a bad driver stoned. As long as the driver feels comfortable driving stoned, then I don't mind. I personally just can't do it. I get too distracted, too paranoid, etc.

I drive high all the time, it's perfectly safe. You're reaction time might be slowed down depending on how high you are because you'll get distracted and shit but it's not like you lose your depth perception or anything like that.

[Vapemaster]

I don't really like doing it but I will if I'm driving just between friends houses or to get some eats. I have had one bad experience where I turned into the wrong lane because there were people crossing but there were no cars so it was all good. That happened because I was trying to mow down this delicious pita at the same time.

[StonerBill]

it really depends. its not like drunk driving. It depends if the driver is competant, at both driving and being stoned. Whereas alcohol is different. Also depends if theres ppl in the car.

[ElectronauT]

I don't drive but if I did and tried it high, I'd be nervous as shit. I probably wouldn't do it, but I don't think it makes people worse/more dangerous at all.

[klondike_bar]

i can drive when a little buzzed, but being really high driving is a little dangerous. sure you may be more cautious, but its easy to get distracted by something not on the road.

hell, i was in a 6hp boat once with a friend and we were going towards some rocks 100feet away (thats where we turn to go through the passage to another bay on the lake) and we got distracted talking. next thing i look fowards, realize were close to the rocks and swerve hard (not that a fiberglass boat can really swerve though). after swerving we realised we were still like 30 feet away and wouldve had like 10 more seconds till impact at our low speed.

it can screw with your perceptions a bit is my point i guess.

[weedwhacker]

only experienced stones should try driving while high. i've never done it but i've been driven by people who are high, and they seemed fine.

[tothedome1]

when i first started driving high i was such a shitty driver i almost died. but now its like im better than sober

[marksup123]

i've driven stoned before. and i only have my permit, LOL. and my dad was the one driving with me. he didn't suspect a thing.

pwned.

[PhishheadDeadhead]

i drive high about everyday. it's bad though, everytime you see a cop your heart just sinks especially when you have bud and all kinds of wraps, ciggs and god knows what else in the car.

[peacegrow]

I used to drive a lot high, but now find it harder....maybe because I don't drive as much in general. Years ago (summer 1991 to be exact) I was traveling across country in a van as old as me following the dead. It had a little ledge behind the steering wheel. We would take bong hits from a pretty big bong while driving by putting it on that ledge...and this was extremely good nuggets....we just called it incredible weed back then. This I would not recommend for your average stoner.

I think it all depends on how much you smoke and how much you drive....and like StonerBill said, how well you do both. In the old days I drove everywhere....I was almost always the driver when me and friends would go out...and we'd often be driving around looking for places to get high. So, with enough practice I think it's probably fine.

If you don't smoke every day, and aren't 100% comfortable driving and avoiding problems while driving, I'd say it's pretty dangerous.

You know how it is when you are a good driver...it's like driving is a graceful dance...even when someone cuts you off or some other mistake, you can roll with it with grace. Following the rules, but knowing how to work with them and break them if necessary. I think a sign of a bad driver is one who gets all flustered when someone else makes a mistake or starts yelling at them....you just have to expect that people are bad drivers and know how to respond. A sign of a really bad driver is one who makes mistakes and then still yells at the other people instead of realizing they made a mistake.

Being really tired or really pissed off can definitely be as bad as driving stoned if you know what you are doing.

[hippieatheart]

eh, i do it all the time
it's no big deal to me. i drive the same high, as i would sober.

i don't really trust people driving when they're high though

[SashaK]

The first time i actuaLLY drove i was high... N then for the next two weeks when my sister was teaching me how to drive i was high too,
I finally drove not high N it wasnt that great i mean bcuz i was stoned when i started learning i was being xtra careful..

My girlfriend is a shitty driver when she's sober. When she's drunk she's crazy and goes really fast and then slows down and then starts laughing and I'll be in the car screaming "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!"

Once she was really drunk and let me drive, I'm underaged so I was all scared. I only went to the store but it was still scary, but at the same time the funnest thing ever.

I was smoking with a gal pal of mine and the person who was with us caught a second hand buzz and we drove to my gal pals house. The other girl was weaving in and out of lanes. On the highway. At 6:30. PM.

[Mother's Love]

im against it, it is NOT perfectly safe. i have a toddler, i dont let hubby drive high with him in the car.

[jo_k_er_man]

i would never drive stoned with underagers in my vehicle

[Captain Cannabis]

I dont think you should be having underagers in your car at anytime :p

[Tibbles]

Just dont drive in the snow high. you'll start having to much fun trust me

[deathtoke]

Just dont drive in the snow high. you'll start having to much fun trust me

hell yeah
snow + empty parking lot + weed = awsome fun

[FLORIDA MON]

No big deal. I'm always stoned and I'm always driving while stoned with little noticeable difference in reaction time or or depth perception.

Last night I got high, drove my ass to the batting cage and knocked around 55, 65 and 75 mph baseballs. The 75 mph high fast balls were kickin my ass tho.

Drunk drivers suck, however.

You've obviously never driven high in a horrible snow storm. That wasn't fun at all. Went from "everything is fine" to "SHIT'S FUCKED!" in about .002 seconds. Ended up spinning in circles down the middle of the highway. Somehow managed to stay outta the ditch though, probably due to both luck and ninja skills. It didn't happen because I was high though, it was just unavoidable. There were cars in the ditch everywhere that night.

[Slaps]

on long drives i like to shroom and smoke blunts

[-beatnick]

depends on how stoned and how responsible and careful the people are. if they're bad drivers to begin with, i think that it shouldn't be happening, but if the drivers alright, and awake enough i don't think its too big of a problem.

[Subliminal89]

when im driving the its like im in a video game lol. everything has sweet graphics.

Well, I hate to admit that I do often drive stoned. My friend and I would even go out for a drive, listen to music and get on the highway. Put the car on cruise control and just have fun. My normal comute home is about 45 min to and hour depending on traffic. I get off of work pull out of my lot and get on the highway and light up. If it is bumper to bumper or going full tilt I can often control myself quite well. I will not say that I am a better driver when stoned but I am comfortable doing it. A couple of times when I had to drive long distance, like 14 hours, I was getting tired and I was starting to look for a hotel to stay the night so I started to smoke up. I was then doing just fine and just kept on going. So I would say for me it works well. If helps me through the rough patch and keeps something for me to do while I am driving. However, I do find that I am also distracted. I listen to books on tape when I drive and when I would run into heavy traffic I would have to turn it off and concentrate on the road. That is while I am stoned. I agree, I don't recomend if for everyone. I am a very good driver in the first place so that when I am stoned I may or may not be a better one but I sure feel that I am more aware of everything around me. It might be a bit of the paranoid kicking in but like I said I feel that I am more aware. In real life I know that my reaction times are down. The best way to accomidate that im my mind is to stay on the right and follow traffic. I like to get behind a big truck and just cruise. That way if he is slowing down I will notice. That is again, just me.

45 min commute? you must love gasoline.
